GOD OUR PARENT

Do you know God? God is our Father. God is your Father. God loves you. God loves me. God loves everyone who is good.

God lives in Heaven. Where God lives, there is Heaven. Heaven is to give love. God always gives love. God’s love, that makes heaven. In God’s love, you feel good.

You are God’s child. You are God’s son, or you are God’s daughter. A child is like the father, and also like the mother. We call God – our Father. But God is also our Mother. I am God’s child. You are God’s child. I am like God. You are like God. God gives always love. I give always love. You give always love – That is to be like God. That means: to be God’s child.

God loves you. God loves your brother. God loves your sister. When you love God, you also love your brother, you also love your sister. You are all children of the same God, the same Father.

God is always with you. You are never alone. You can always speak with God. You can hear God’s voice in your heart. God always loves you. God always helps you. When you feel alone, you must tell it to God. Then you are not anymore alone, because God is with you. God is your Father, and God loves you.

God made all beautiful things for you. God made for you the sun. God gave to you your parents. God gave a home to you. God made the trees for you. God makes the birds sing a beautiful song for you.

God also smiles to you, when your brother or sister smiles to you. Each smile of love, that is God’s smile. God made the animals for you. God made the food for you. God gave the angels to take care for you.

God is not always happy. Sometimes God must cry, when people do bad things. Then, when you talk with God, you also feel to cry. God does not like it to see people suffer. God does not want it when you feel pain. Then God cries tears for you. Then you must help God, to make it good again.

Sometimes God is angry. When people do evil. When people hate each other. Then God shows his power. God is very strong. God is a God of power. This you can see in the thunder and the lightning.

Evil people should better be afraid for our Father.

God does everything out of love – love for you, love for your brothers and sisters. God wants only the best for you. We must give all our love to God, because God is good.

Energies for fighting

When we look at light, then this light comes to us from somewhere. Light beams do have a certain direction. They are pushing in a certain direction. The light photons, that bring the light, are pulsing. Light is energy and energy has a pulsing nature. Because the pulsing energy travels through space, the pulsing light photons make waves.

Imagine that you move a stick up and down. The movement is linear as long as you are standing on one place. But if you begin to walk, continuing to move the stick up and down, then the stick makes the form of waves through the air.

Earthquakes do have two kind of waves. There is the kind of waves called Push- and Pull waves or P-waves. This is a pulsing that happens in the direction that an earthquake sends its waves to over and through the surface of the earth. It is a longitudinal force. Compare this with the force that your hand exercises on sand when you move your hand straight through the sand.

But suppose you are not moving your hand through the sand, but over a vibrating string. There will still be the push- and pull force, but also a shaking force from the vibrating string, on each place where it passes through. These shaking waves are called S-waves and also earthquakes send out such waves.

From these examples we can understand more about how spiritual energies are working. The laws for energy are always the same, regardless whether we speak about spiritual or physical energy.

Imagine energy that transplants through water. When the wind brings energy into the water and makes waves, this can be of such a kind that we like it when the waves are gentle and rock our boat just a little bit. But when the waves get higher and higher because there is a storm and more energy was put into the water, then we don’t like it anymore.

The sunlight gives us a pleasant warmth, most of the time. But sometimes the sunlight gets too much and our skin gets burned from the ultraviolet light that has a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency of pulsing than the infrared warmth beams of light.

When the water waves are rocking your boat gently, then you like it, but when the waves get too strong, then your boat could get destroyed.

In the same way, people can send to us waves of love that we like. But other people are sending destructive waves of hatred. Such waves of hatred do have a wavelength and frequency that doesn’t fit to our own being. Like ultraviolet light can make you sick, and radioactive radiation that has a still shorter wavelength could kill you, so people can send energy waves to you to make you sick or to kill you.

When two waves are added to each other, they can either support each other and make one stronger wave, or they can work against each other. Soldiers are not supposed to march on a bridge, because it might be that the soldiers’ walking brings forth waves that support each other and that fit into the natural vibrating of the bridge, and then so much energy could come into the bridge that it collapses.

This introduction was to make you aware of how spiritual energies can work against you and also how you can work with spiritual energy yourself.

Usually, when you speak, your voice has little effect. When i give you this guidance, i am speaking strongly and i put energy into you with my voice. You feel the influence of this energy that is not only in the content of the words but i also send it consciously to you.

Some people have learned to send energy with their voice. Without most people noticing it, the voice of such people influences them. Some people put an energy in their voice that is hypnotizing. Regardless what is the content of the words they speak, they give you the feeling that you should look up to them, or that what they say is extremely meaningful.

The voice can also be used in martial arts to frighten an opponent. Predatory animals like tigers and lions use their voice in such a way. Martial artists often shout when they kick or punch. The sound can have a laming effect on the opponent. There are people who know this skill so well that most opponents are lamed on the spot or they sink through their legs.

Sometimes you meet a person who is frustrated and full of grudges. Other people send out strong feelings of self-pity. If you are not aware of such energies, you might come under their influence and their hatred or self-pity enters you and separates you from God.

The creation of energy, time and space

In the beginning there was God. There were no creations outside of God. There was only God and God’s desire for creating. There were no things, no space. There was not even time.

Then God made His first creation. This creation did not yet have form because there was not yet time and space. That first creation was from God, with God and in God, and therefore it could not yet be understood as something distinguished from God.

God created His second creation. Like the first creation, it was just energy. The second creation did not have form. To distinguish the second creation from the first creation, it was necessary that those two creations would move away from each other. When two things stick together always, they cannot be understood as two separate creations. Only when two things move independently from each other, there can be spoken of two different things.

The two energies moved away from each other. Each of the energies moves with the speed of energy. That is the speed of light.

It doesn’t matter what speed the energies have in relation to each other because there is not yet existing space as standard from which speed is measured. Energy moves with the speed of energy away from other creations of energy that also move with the speed of energy. The moving of energy creates time. From the moving of energy, there comes time. Because space does not yet exist, we cannot yet speak or think about speeds in relation to each other. The first creation of energy moves away with the speed of energy or light from the second creation of energy that also moves with the speed of light.

Each of the energies pulses. Pulsing or vibrating is the nature of energy. When energy pulses, it is making space. Because the pulsing goes in the directions of the three-dimensions, there is created the three-dimensional space by the pulsing energies. Because energies necessarily have to move away from each other, in order that they do exist at all, time was created. Each three-dimensionally pulsing energy creates the three dimensions of space, in order to be able to exist in space.

All things exist and time and space. The space of the cosmos necessarily is getting wider all the time. Things cannot move quicker than with the speed of energy or light because then time is changed or better said time would be annihilated.

Energy was then created by God to pulse in different media. The most original energy is directly in God. From this original energy, everything in the cosmos was created.

God also created energy of love. This energy pulses in the medium called love. This energy of God comes to us as love.

God created mind energy. This is the energy that makes our mind working. It is energy of thinking, feeling and planning.

God created energy of air. This energy is using air as medium. Energy transplants through air.

God created energy of fire. Fire or heat is a medium for energy.

God created energy of water. Water is a medium for energy.

Finally, God created energy of earth. Earth is a medium for energy of a typical kind.

Our bodies were created from these 7 basal energies and in our bodies there are 7 chakras through that these seven energies can flow.

Arrogance is disturbance of the vertical axis

Image via Wikipedia

Adam & Eve, Russian Lubok woodcut 1792

In the beginning of the existence of man, there came about the evil nature of arrogance. Until today, this fallen nature makes that people and angels are causing disturbance of the vertical axis of the universe. Because there is the false nature of arrogance, the universe does not function as it should.

Lucifer was an angel and therefore put in the position of servant to Adam. When Lucifer put himself above Adam, the archangel was motivated by self-centered desires. Lucifer wanted to have a higher position than he really had, because he felt that to be like God would mean to have more power and therefore to get more satisfaction. Lucifer wanted to get the love that God has, but Lucifer did not want to make the same investment that God had made. Lucifer wanted to take, and not to give.

When you are arrogant, you are leaving your position. This means that you try to give yourself a higher position than you really deserve to have in God’s world.
But God’s order is perfect. The position that you got from God is the right position. So how can you justify to take a higher position than you deserve?
Only because you value higher that which is lower and you value lower that which is higher.

Adam was a higher creation than Lucifer was. Nevertheless, Lucifer was much more knowledgeable about God’s world of creation. Lucifer’s intellect, at the time that the archangel brought Adam and Eve to fall, was more developed than the intellect of Adam and Eve. Still, in God’s eyes, man is a higher creation than angels are. This is mainly because the heart of Adam and Eve, God’s children, is more developed than the heart of angels. The difference between man and angels on the level of intellect and feelings is not as big as is the difference on the level of heart.

Man is created as God’s children. Man is created to take responsibility for the entire creation, just like God Himself feels responsible for all that He created. Angels don’t feel responsible to have dominion over all of creation. Angels were created as specialists. Some angels are very good to perform one task, other angels are very good to perform other tasks. But no angel was ever created to have dominion over the whole cosmos.

Lucifer put himself above Adam, and by doing so, Lucifer wrongly introduced the false nature of arrogance, which means that someone in a lower position puts him- or herself in a higher position than someone who should take that higher position.

How does this happen?
This happens whenever you are putting something that takes a lower position on the vertical axis of the universe on a position too high on this axis. For example, people who value more their ability to perform actions with their physical body could be arrogant in relation to those people who have more intellectual abilities. This is the arrogance of people who have a strong body and feel that they should therefore dominate their surroundings.

Many people feel that they should be leaders in this world because they have a lot of money. This means that such people are very arrogant, because they put their ability to get money, to get creation, above the more elevated abilities of many other people.

When you think that because you have much knowledge, for example about the construction of buildings, or about how computers work, you might feel that you are at the top of the world. When you meet someone with deeper love for God, but maybe with lesser knowledge above construction or computers, you might be tempted to put yourself on a higher place than this person with deeper love for God. And then you are wrong, you are arrogant, and you disturb the order made by God.

Just like Lucifer put his intellectual and spiritual abilities above Adam’s love for God, so all arrogant people are putting something of lesser value in God’s world higher than what God finds more important.

Now you might think to solve the problem of arrogance by trying to act in a humble way. But that won’t solve your arrogance. When you are arrogant, then what you did wrong is that you failed to accept the order in God’s world. You might know how God’s order should be, and bow for people whom you think are standing higher, or admit in a so-called meek way that you know that you are a big sinner. But that doesn’t solve your arrogance at all.

All what you do is to play an act as if you are humble. You are trying to hide your arrogance for others and maybe also for yourself. In that way you do nothing to solve your fallen nature of arrogance.

What you have to do is to first of all go to God. You are God’s child. You are supposed to be object to God because you are God’s creation, you are God’s child. How can you be a child of God if you don’t speak to God, if you don’t love God. You have to begin with accepting the order in the way that God made it. In God’s vertical order, God stands on top, and therefore you first of all have to accept that God is your subject. You should not only accept God as your subject just as a way of philosophy, but you should do this in your personal relation to God. You should only act when God tells you to do so.

Most of all, what you should do to overcome your arrogance is that you must make your own heart in order.
When you committed a sin, than that sin was not first of all a sin of the intellect. You have a heart as most important aspect of your self. And when you sin, you first of all sin with your heart. All sins are first of all sins of the heart. All sins are first of all expressions of hatred against those whom should be loved by you. Each sin is in deepest essence a sin against God. Each sin means essentially that you gave pain to God. And to solve your sins should first of all mean that you solve the fact that you gave pain to God and to others.

When you are arrogant, you do give pain to God and you also give pain to those who are actually loving you and who are therefore, and only therefore, put higher in God’s order. You cannot solve your fallen nature of arrogance with knowledge about God’s principles. You have to change yourself on the level of heart. You have to really love God, which is only possible when you take the right position in relation to God. You have to really love those loved by God and therefore put above you in God’s order. And to love such people, you have to take the right position of loving those people as your subjects. Maybe your subjects of love are little children. But if those little children have more love for God than you have, should they not be respected for this by you? Or should you think that because of your cleverness in whatever field of life you should put yourself above them?

You might be able to dominate the ignorant pure Adams and Eves put above you in God’s world, but then you have to do this with your intellect, with your clever experience. You cannot do it with your original love, because if you would express real love you would love those put above you as your subjects. That is what you have to do to overcome your arrogance.

There are religions in the world where the highest leaders have much knowledge. There is nothing wrong with that if they would also have deepest love for God. Some of those religious leaders speak about love for God. From their intellect and with their mouths they speak about God’s love. But intellectual speaking about love is not love. Intellectual speaking about love while not practicing that love is actually arrogance.

To overcome your arrogance you have to practice and to fulfill the tasks that God has given to you. To do that, to fulfill your tasks entirely, that is demanding real love from you. Then you cannot speak from your knowledge, but you have to act from the bottom of your heart. It is in that way, that you can really learn to love God and overcome the fallen nature of arrogance.

Chakras explained to children

Today i want to speak to you about chakras. You must know that in these days it is very difficult for people to understand what chakras are, but in the future, when the people have a better understanding about God and about how God made everything, the people will find chakras very simple to understand. Everything which God made is never so complicated. It only looks complicated if we have not the right view on it.

Suppose that you would be a little fly which lives in the wool of a sheep. All you see, day in day out, is wool. Sometimes the wool gets a little wet from the rain, sometimes the wool is dirty, sometimes it is dry. Sometimes it is dark and sometimes it is light. But all that the little fly sees is only wool, wool, wool. The fly doesn’t understand that the light comes from the sun in the day and the darkness from the night. It doesn’t understand about the rain and surely it doesn’t understand much about the sheep. The fly never even saw the whole sheep. The fly doesn’t know that the sheep eats grass. The fly doesn’t know how the sheep looks. The fly only sees wool, wool, wool.

That is a little how people look at the human body. They don’t look enough from a little farther away. The bodies of people are so important for people. They feed the body, they let the body sleep, they put clothing over the body. Because they find the body so important, they are always busy with the needs of the body. But just like the fly, which is always going around in the wool of the sheep to look there for a little food in the wool, the people go around and only see what the physical body needs. They cannot so easily take a distance from the body and find out what God thinks about the body.

What is a body? This is a good question to think about. Do you know what is a body?

When you look at a stone, it is a dead thing but when it falls on your foot, you feel it very well. This shows that there is something in the stone that makes an impression to you. This is what we call energy.

Today it is a hot day, like it has been for over one week. Each day the sun shines very brightly and makes you feel warm, right? How do we call this getting warm? You get warm from the energy of the sun.

The sun also changes your body. When you walk in the sunlight, your skin gets colored. The body changes because the sun shines on it. This, again, is because the sun gives energy to the body.

When you eat food, your body also changes. What happens when you eat a lot of sweeties? You get very fat. And what happens when you don’t eat at all? You get very very skinny. So you see, food changes the body. And how do you feel when you didn’t eat after you worked very hard for a whole day? Then you feel very tired. We say that you have no energy. So, you see, food also gives energy to your body.

What is energy then? Energy came from God and comes from God. Energy is what makes all things exist and move. When the sun shines on us, it is nice warm. When you are hungry, the food tastes very nice. What i want to say with this is that the energy that we get is not just energy. This energy can feel very good to you. Sometimes, when someone hates you and gives you a beating, the energy you get from such a person is very terrible. But always there is something in energy that is more than energy. There is something in energy that makes you feel good. That what makes you feel good, this came from God, originally; and this is what we call love.

There is love in energy. And energy makes that everything goes and that your body is warm and that it can move. Energy makes that you can see the world around you and also that you can hear my words while i speak

Our bodies are made from energy. When you have a radio, it makes sound. The radio doesn’t just work when you don’t put energy into it. You must put energy into the radio. You have to put batteries in the radio or you have to connect it to the electrical system. In that way, energy comes into the radio.

In the same way that a radio needs something to get energy, the body also needs connections where the energy comes in. The body gets energy from the sun. So there is a place in your body that can get the energy from the sun and that place in the body sends the energy of the sun all through the body so that the whole body can use it. There also is a place in the body that can get energy out from food. That energy also is then sent through the whole body. There is a place in the body that takes energy out from the air. We all must breathe all the time. When you don’t breathe, you die. The energy from the air is very important. And of course there is a place where the energy of the air comes in.

All the places where energy comes into our body and where it is then sent through so that the whole body can use it, these places we call chakras. There are seven chakras in the body.

We often use another word for 'chakra' and that is switchwheel. The name switchwheel means: switch and wheel. A switch means something with which you put the light on or off, or the car on or off. A wheel means a place where everything goes round. When you have a bucket with water and you move a stick in the water, the water turns around like it would be a wheel. Energy that comes into your body must find its way into the body. That doesn’t go right away. Therefore that energy begins to move around like the wheel of your bicycle goes around.

The chakras in our body are the most important parts of our bodies. In the top of your head you have a chakra that makes that the love and energy of God come into you. When you pray to God, you can feel this in the top of your head. When God speaks to you, you feel it coming into you in the top of your head. That is because in the top of your head there is the crown chakra.

The four elements of creation explained to children

During the past few months i have been studying to understand about how our bodies work and also how all of creation is made. Today i want to tell you something about what i found out.

You know that God exists, but God is invisible. We cannot see God. We cannot touch God. We cannot hear God with our physical ears. We only know that God is in us and that God speaks in our hearts. You also know that God is everywhere in nature around us. God is in the beauty of a flower and God is in the goodness of people.

God is invisible. But you can feel your own body and when you walk with your dog, then you know that he can pull very hard on the line so that you must be careful that you don’t fall. Sometimes it rains very hard and then you get wet. Then you feel this very well and you hear the rain.

What i try to tell you is that on the one side, there is God, Whom you cannot see. But God made everything. On the other side, there are all the things and the living beings which God has made. Is that not strange, that God, Who is invisible, could make all the things and the living beings which are very well visible and touchable?

When you think about this, then it must be so that there is some kind of thing which is in-between God and all what God created. Is that not logical? That there has to be something in-between God, Who is invisible, and all what God created which is visible?

Why do i think this? When you think of a car, then first it stands somewhere. Then, when you start the motor, it can drive around. Do you think that to start the motor and to drive the car you only need to turn the key? No, much more is needed. Do you know what is needed most of all? There is needed gas for the motor. And the gas is actually something that provides energy.

In all the things that were made and that are visible, there is something that we call energy. How do the plants grow? A plant needs all kind of things. It needs water and fertilizer and it also needs light and warmth. When you put a plant on a dark place, it will not grow anymore.

The light also is a form of energy. Also the warmth from the sun is a kind of energy. All created things are made out of energy. Also you yourself need energy. Can you live long without taking in food? The motor of a car needs gas, but the body of a human being needs food. Food gives energy to the body so that the body can work.

What did we now discover? I began with speaking about God, Who created everything but Who is invisible. And all the created things are very well visible. But how can these things now relate to God?

This is because in-between God and all the created things and beings there is something that we call energy. Actually, in God there is energy and in all the things there also is energy. But can you feel energy? Can you see it? Energy is a strange thing. When the sun shines on you, you can feel the warmth. The warmth is a kind of energy. But also the energy in the food is energy. Food makes your body that it can work. But can you see the energy in the food? In a sense, what you can see in energy is not the energy itself, but you see or sense that which the energy does with you. The energy of the sun makes you warm, but the energy itself is not so easily visible.

So we see that energy, on the one side is invisible, like God Himself is invisible, and on the other side, energy makes that all things work and therefore can also be touched and felt.

Today i will try to explain to you about how all the things of creation have been made. Until now i only have explained you about energy. God made all things of creation out of energy. And this energy can be seen and felt in different ways. Some energy you feel as warmth, like the sun beams, other energy gives a push, like energy that makes a car to drive around.

In the beings of creation, there are four types of energy that make that all beings of creation can exist. First there is a type of energy which is closest to God. Just think of yourself. When a baby is born, it comes out from the mother. In the mother, the baby doesn’t breathe yet. When a lamb comes out from the mother sheep, it didn’t breathe yet because it is closed in the belly of the sheep. When the lamb comes out, the first what the lamb must do is to breathe. We call this breathing the breath of life. What do you breathe in? It is air. So, air which has life in it, that is the energy which is in all living beings and this energy is closest to God.

What does a living being need more? Did you see a dead animal sometimes? A dead animal is cold. But a living being is warm. The sun is the body in the sky that gives us warmth and it also gives us light. The sun is actually a big ball of fire. So the second type of energy that is needed for all living beings is what we could call fire. Fire is the second element of creation. Air is the element of God, and fire is what you could call the fatherly or the masculine element.

What else is needed for all living beings? The third element or type of energy is water. Nothing can live without water. Sometimes we speak about the water of life. This way of saying shows that life cannot exist without water. Water is a kind of energy. In water is a lot of energy and this energy is also needed for making living beings. Our own bodies almost entirely exist of water. Water is the motherly kind of energy that is needed for creations.

There is one more element of creation which is needed for everything which lives. This fourth element of creation is what we call the earth. The earth means the earth itself, but it also means all the minerals that exist. God made a number of minerals out of which everything exists. For example, iron is a mineral and in our bodies, there is also iron. And iron, when you look at it very closely, is just a type of energy. All the minerals together, that is what we call earth. And earth is also a type of energy.

The first type of energy brings God into the living beings. That first type of energy is the breath of life or air.

The second type of energy brings fatherly energy into all living beings. That second element of creation is called fire.

The third type of energy brings motherly energy into all living beings. That third element of creation is called water.

The fourth type of energy brings Godly, fatherly and motherly elements united into all living beings. That fourth type of energy is what can be felt the best. Nevertheless it is a type of energy. It is energy which is mostly visible and it is called earth.

Some thoughts about the unity of the cosmos

We try to imagine God, man, the cosmos, the earth and we try to understand relations between them.

What is the earth? It is right to say that the earth is alive.

What is alive? Alive means to grow. Does the earth grow? The earth is growing, yes. The waters are flowing through and over the earth and they move with the sun and moon making cycles. Trees and plants are growing in the earth. They take out and bring in fluids and gases. Inside of the earth there are rivers and oceans of molten stone. The earth develops, changes and grows all the time.

Our relation to the earth is so close. Our bodies are made from the cells that the earth provided. Gases from the air, water, energy and stone were brought together by plants to form new cells. Plants did this and provided the materials out of that our bodies are made. Once our bodies are created they are entirely dependent from the earth and what the earth gives. Our bodies would not exist long without the gravity of the earth.

Already we concluded that man is the heart of the cosmos, while the Living is the mind and the Earth is the body. God lives in man, who lives in the Living, who lives in the Earth.

The Earth is mankind’s body. A body gives you birth, and the earth gives birth to man. In that sense, the Earth can be seen as the mother’s womb in that we were conceived and in which we grew until birth. The Earth also is the instrument for man’s growth. By living on the earth and exploring ourselves in relation to the earth we learn and develop ourselves.

God is expressing Himself in all of mankind and all of mankind’s love is in the sun and all stars. This is a description of God’s Ideal in which mankind’s love has entered and immersed the entire universe.

We can say that the earth is animated by the sun and the stars. In the light of the sun and the stars that reaches the earth directly, or indirectly via planets and the moon, there is creative energy that inspires, moves and directs.

The sun and stars are mankind’s mind or must take that position. Be aware that sun and stars have a spiritual component. Presently man’s love is not much in the sun and stars. But God’s love is already in them and it is through the shining of sun and stars that God brings creative and shaping energy into the earth, into all things and beings on the earth, but also directly into man’s body that was created from the earth.

The earth can be seen as mankind’s body, but as long as man does not so realize this, we can at least say that the earth is God’s body. Man is in-between God and the earth and is shaped and created from God’s love directly and from the earth’s forces and living materials.

One difficulty in understanding all this correctly is because we tend to think in linear dimensions. But to understand the relations between all elements in the cosmos we must think in three-dimensional images that are contained in other three-dimensional images which are contained in yet other three-dimensional images. I don’t know how long this goes on, how many three-dimensional images are merging into each other.

One way to understand one relation between God, man, sun & stars and the earth is that God is breathing into the earth. The earth breathes into the sun & stars and they into man, and man breathes into God. At the same time, the earth keeps alive all things of creation on the earth and these make God to continue to exist. This is like the heart of man that pushes blood through the body and at the same time receives new breath by steering blood through the lungs.

What i try to make clear in this article is that God cannot be thought apart from man, that sun & stars cannot be thought apart from the earth, and that we, man are in desperate need of a harmonious relation to the earth, which, after all, is the body of mankind and which is our womb.

God is a pulsing heart that pushes into man, and through man into the Living (sun and stars and planets) and through the Living into the Earth. A heart of love lives in a mind. But a mind needs a body or else it would not have an instrument to express itself. What does a thought mean when you could not express it and pass it on? What were the meaning of God if God could not express Himself into man and all of creation?

When man does not learn to love the earth and himself and herself and the stars and the sun, man cannot love God and man is lost.

The heart of God is pulsing from inside to outside but as a heart does, what it gave out comes back to itself. So God is giving out His love into all of creation. It is by passing on and spreading God’s love that we ourselves can receive God’s love again and again.
